This process is killing our company. We have tried many of the supposed fixes, and have experienced no luck. Here is what we have tried:

-Installed KB927891
-Installed WindowsUpdateAgent30-x86
-Reinstalled Windows Update by using a batch file
-Disabled Telephony in Services

Sidenote, we have our own Windows Update Server

What should I do now?

I thought that you terminate the real svhost.exe.when the application terminates windows will shutdown with in 1 minute. You can kill the virus by using "Avg antivirus 7.5 pro"or" Nod32 antivirus".I tried this and it was a succes.

please mail me if the problem remains

Hello ,

What I did to solve this problem is to go to System Restore ( Start > Accesories > System Tools > System Restore ) and restore your system to about 3-5 days before you noticed this , it worked for me =)

I seem to be having the same issue as mentioned here. I went to msconfig already to try and disable some new items I loaded recently (i.e. hp printer monitor services) but that didn't seem to help. When I first login, if I go ahead and kill the svchost.exe file, I immediately see a drop on the cpu. It would appear that my machine is still working OK for the things I need most (i.e. Outlook, MS Project, etc.) Meanwhile I can also see additional svchost.exe processes running. Is there a way in the msconfig to see which startup processes are created as a svchost.exe? Thanks

Use Process Explorer to see what each svchost.exe instance is doing http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx.

Also, try disabling the DNS Client service if you have a huge hosts file and your machine is slow.

Downloaded the tool and was able to isolate the svchost.exe as an hp network device support process that had been installed recently along with a new printer. Turned it off in the msconfig area and now the cpu is way down! Thanks for the tip!
